the execution Of this proposed Law under
any Interpretation wide field OF inquiry

that the race after the pensions offered by
this bill would not only stimulate weakness
and pretended incapacity for labor, but put
further premium on dishonesty and nen-
dacitv. The effect OF new invitations to

strikers slipped on the docks among non.
